WARNING
To install the
WinFax
application, you must
first install the LinkFax 8 module
and have
enough free space on the hard disk
. The
amount of space required depends on the type
of installation that you wish to carry out (i.e.
maximum, minimum, or personalised) and is
indicated in the documentation associated
with the application.
During installation of the WinFax application,
you must check that the
type of modem
is
CAS
(and change the setting, if necessary).
Furthermore, since your facsimile machine
automatically inserts a heading
for each
document sent, make sure that
a second
heading is not added
by the WinFax appli-
cation. To do this you should either
avoid
entering a heading
when prompted to do so,
or
cancel the heading
proposed by the ap-
plication, depending on the version of WinFax
to be installed.
IMPORTANT
On completion of the WinFax installation pro-
cedure, make sure that there
are at least 1.5
Megabytes of free space on the hard disk
.
You must also have at least this amount of
free space
when using the LinkFax 8 mod-
ule
.
CONNECTING THE FACSIMILE MACHINE
TO THE PC
The facsimile is connected to the PC by means
of the
parallel cable
, as shown below:
LinkFax 8
is a software communication module
that transforms bubble ink jet facsimile machines
into
multifunctional products
running under
Windows 3.1x
.
In fact, once they have been
connected to a Per-
sonal Computer
, they may be used above all as
a
graphic printer
. Documents such as letters,
drawings or spreadsheets prepared using stand-
ard
Windows
applications may therefore be
printed by the facsimile machine
.
Alternatively, they may be used as a
scanner
for
acquiring documents on the PC.
Finally, with the aid of the
WinFAX
application
(manufactured by
Delrina
in Canada), documents
can be
transmitted directly from the PC
. Incom-
ing faxes can also be
stored on the PC
and then
displayed and processed using standard
Windows
applications.
This guide describes how to install the LinkFax 8
module in Windows 3.1x. The LinkFax 8 module
is supplied on
Compact Disk
